I never had a clue that WE were the “poor” people on this trip! Yes, people were living in boxes and tarp-covered structures, but they had more faith, hope and happiness than I’ve ever known possible. I was in awe the entire two days of our build, watching this family that makes $56/week – having to choose between food, education for their children and housing- work so closely and proudly on their dream home. They live each day as it comes, pray for good health and happiness, and trust that tomorrow will be another bright day. I know that I was very touched by this mission trip, but watched my teen-aged daughter and husband light up inside as well… it’s our mission to continue returning on these mission trips.
